Missouri State Police Think You And I Are TerroristsBy Chuck BaldwinMarch 17, 2009

Thanks to a concerned Missouri state policeman, a nationally syndicatedradio talk show host stated that he was alerted last week to a secretMissouri state police report that categorized supporters of Congressman RonPaul, Bob Barr, and myself as "'militia' influenced terrorists." Thereport, he said, "instructs the Missouri police to be on the lookout forsupporters displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associatedwith the Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties."

Ignoring the threat of Muslim terrorists, the Missouri Information AnalysisCenter (MIAC) report focuses on the so-called "militia movement" and"conflates it with supporters of Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, Bob Barr, theso-called patriot movement and other political activist organizationsopposed to the North American Union and the New World Order."

This report is not original, of course. During the Clinton administration, aPhoenix Federal Bureau of Investigation and Joint Terrorism Task Forceexplicitly designated "defenders" of the Constitution as "right-wingextremists." However, the MIAC report significantly expands on earlierdocuments and is the first known document to actually name names.

According to the MIAC, opposition to world government, NAFTA, federalizationof the states, and restrictive gun laws are a potential threat to thepolice. The MIAC report also refers to Aaron Russo's film, "America: Freedomto Fascism."

The story exposing the MIAC report states, "The MIAC report is particularlypernicious because it indoctrinates Missouri law enforcement in the beliefthat people who oppose confiscatory taxation, believe in the well-documentedexistence of a New World Order and world government (a Google search of thisphrase will pull up numerous references made by scores of establishmentpolitical leaders), and are opposed to the obvious expansion of the federalgovernment at the expense of the states as violent extremists who aregunning for the police. It specifically targets supporters of mainstreampolitical candidates and encourages police officers to consider themdangerous terrorists."

The Columbia Daily Tribune also carried the story last Saturday. It quotedMissouri resident Tim Neal of Miller County. "When Neal read the report, hecouldn't help but think it described him. A military veteran and a delegateto the 2008 Missouri Republican state convention, he didn't appreciate beinglumped in with groups like the Neo-Nazis.

"'I was going down the list and thinking, "Check, that's me,"' he said. 'I'ma Ron Paul supporter, check. I talk about the North American union, check.I've got the "America: Freedom to Fascism" video loaned out to somebodyright now. So that means I'm a domestic terrorist? Because I've got a videoabout the Federal Reserve?'"

The Tribune's report also acknowledges, "The [MIAC] report's mostcontroversial passage states that militia 'most commonly associate withthird-party political groups' and support presidential candidates such asRon Paul, former Constitutional [sic] Party candidate Chuck Baldwin and BobBarr, the Libertarian candidate last year."

The Tribune report also said, "Neal, who has a Ron Paul bumper sticker onhis car, said the next time he is pulled over by a police officer, he won'tknow whether it's because he was speeding or because of his politicalviews."

I realize that there are people who will dismiss this kind of story asinsignificant. They shouldn't. This is very serious and should be treated assuch. Anyone who knows anything at all about history knows that before astate or national government can persecute--and commit acts of violenceagainst--a group of people, they must first marginalize the group fromsociety's mainstream and categorize it as dangerous.

Rome did exactly that to Christians, as did Mao's China; Hitler's Germanydid the same thing to Jews; Stalin's Russia did the same thing to politicaldissenters, etc. That a State police agency in America would actually inferthat people who supported Ron Paul, Bob Barr, or myself in a politicalcampaign are somehow indistinguishable from violence-prone "militias" isbeyond insulting: it is a smear campaign, and might should even be regardedas a hate crime!

Beyond that, the MIAC report paints with a very broad brush. In addition tosupporting Ron Paul, Bob Barr, or myself, a review of the report revealsthat opposition to any of the following risks someone being classified as apotential "domestic terrorist":

Again, if you oppose any of the above, or if you supported Ron Paul, BobBarr, or myself, you risk being labeled a "domestic terrorist," according tothe MIAC.

Do you not see how dangerous this kind of slanderous labeling can become? Itcould affect your flight status when you try to board an airline. It couldaffect your application for sensitive jobs. It could affect youradjudication before a court or judge. It could make you a target foraggressive law enforcement strategies. It could affect your being able toobtain a passport. It could affect one's ability to purchase a firearm orreceive a State concealed weapon permit.

This is very serious business! We are not talking about private opinions. Weare talking about law enforcement agencies. And remember, most lawenforcement agencies share these types of reports; therefore, how many otherstate police agencies have similar reports floating around? Probablyseveral. Plus, how do we know that this report was not influenced by federalpolice agencies? We don't.

Rest assured, I do not plan to take this lying down. As one who ispersonally named in the above report, I demand a public retraction andapology from the MIAC and Missouri State Police. I can tell you that myfamily is extremely distraught that their husband, father, and grandfatherwould be labeled in such a manner. I am also not ruling out legal action. Inaddition, I am discussing an appropriate response with Ron Paul and BobBarr. I will keep readers posted as to what comes of these discussions (as Iam at liberty to do so, of course).

In the meantime, I encourage everyone who believes in the freedom of speechand who believes that the MIAC report is an egregious miscarriage of justiceto contact the appropriate Missouri police officials. Here is the contactinformation:

And lest one thinks that none of this concerns him or her, I would like toremind you of the lament of Martin Niemoeller back in the days of Hitler'sGermany. Niemoeller was a decorated U-Boat Captain and pastor of greatdistinction. An avid anti-communist, Niemoeller at first supported Hitler'srise to power and was hesitant to oppose the violations of civil rightsagainst various groups he personally found distasteful. It did not takelong, however, before Niemoeller realized that when laws protecting therights of all were removed from some, no one was safe--including him.Unfortunately, he learned his lesson too late, as he, too, was persecutedand imprisoned by Hitler's State Police. Here is what Niemoeller said abouthis indifference:

"They came first for the communists, and I did not speak up-because I was not a communist;And then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak up-because I was not a trade unionist;And then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak up-because I was not a Jew;And then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak up."

So, those of you who think you have nothing to fear because you did not votefor Ron Paul, Bob Barr, or me, or because you do not live in the State ofMissouri need to think again. As I have repeatedly said, we either havefreedom for all, or we have freedom for none. Truly, secret police reportssuch as the one above threaten the liberties of us all.

So, will you speak up now or wait until they come for you and no one is leftto speak up?

We as Christians are already singled out. Now, they are going for a more select group. It is sad. I will write to the powers that be, but anymore I do it without heart because I don't think they are listening.

This is scary, indeed. I spent some time researching this a few nights ago. The response is mixed as to whether it is even true or not. I am not sure what to think.

Either way it is clear that those who are trying to restore what was lost, who stand against the mainstream are seen as a threat. Persecution is a part of the life we live and has been for a long while. What is right and pure and appropriate is now deemed evil and vile and rebellious. These are the times we live in.

I didn't know just where to add this invite, so I guess this post is as good as any. I'm not sure if you have seen the film 'The Obama deception' by Alex Jones, so I want to invite you to see it for yourself...as I watched it I was reminded in scripture of one world government, one world religion, and on world currancy...not to mention the 10 horns...if this documentary is true, the manifestation of the book of Revelation will be seen in this generation...here is the link: http://www.archive.org/details/The_Obama_Deception

Make no mistake, this is true and is not a hoax. I listened to an interview with the State Trooper who leaked the document on Alex's show the other day. The Governor has come out and supported it. You can call the State Police and ask them, they admit the document is real.

Penny is right, everyone needs to see the Obama Deception. The local folks and I are making copies and handing them out to everyone we see. Its not a left/right movie, but rather exposes the Bankers behind the scenes.

“God is not a belief to which you give your assent. God becomes a reality whom you know intimately, meet everyday, one whose strength becomes your strength, whose love, your love. Live this life of the presence of God long enough and when someone asks you, “Do you believe there is a God?” you may find yourself answering, “No, I do not believe there is a God. I know there is a God.” ~Ernest Boyer, Jr.

We do not get involved in sin to create problems...we do so to fill a void in our lives that we're not allowing God to fill.

“It is not what we say or feel that makes us what we are. It is what we do.....or fail to do.” Marianne, BBC 2007 production of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility” ~Andrew Davies

"A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying to others and to yourself."~ Dostoevsky
